How do i install mac os x v10.6 so I can update itunes for my iphone 5

So I have an older white macbook. I am using mac os x v10.5.8. I need to update my os version to 10.6 so I can install the newer version of itunes in order to plug my iphone 5 into itunes. I can't seem to find the 10.6 download. Please help.

To sync an iPhone 5 you need iTunes 10.7 or later.
To use iTunes 10.7 or later on a Mac, you must be running OS X 10.6.8 or later.
To upgrade from OS X 10.5.8, you must first buy Snow Leopard on DVD.
Snow Leopard is not available to download from any legitimate source.
Online (US): http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Online (UK): http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Elsewhere: call the phone number in the Apple Online Store
Apple's price is $19.99 or £14.00.
Make sure your system meets Snow Leopard's requirements:
Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" System Requirements
To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
An Intel processor
An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
At least 1 GB of memory (RAM) (additional RAM is recommended)
A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
After you install Snow Leopard you can decide if you want to upgrade OS X to the latest version, Mountain Lion. Mountain Lion is available in the Mac App Store, which is available to you after upgrading to Snow Leopard.

How do i install mac os X v10.6 onto a disk partition?

I would like to install snow leopard onto a 160 gb partion that iv'e carved out of the 1T hard drive. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Did that iMac in your signature originally come with 10.6.7 install disks or 10.7?
Because if it was upgraded to 10.7, then the firmware will allow booting from the 10.6.7 machine specific disks, and if you don't have them you can call Apple for replacements.
If the machine originally came with 10.7, then it's a bit harder, you need another Mac capable of boot from the 10.6.7 disk to Firewire Target Disk mode it onto the 160GB partition.
If you can't get the 10.6.7 disks, there is a way to take the 10.6.3 disk + combo update and make a disk, also there is a way to take a 10.6.7 machine specific disk from any other Mac, alter it and then use image that to Firewire Target Disk mode onto the iMac 160GB drive.
There is also a way to run 10.6 in a virtual machine program in 10.7 and later, but the performance isn't as good for games etc.,

How do you get rid of or reduce the "other" section in iTunes for an iPhone 5?

I have more space taken labled as "other" than I do anything else. I've spent hours researching and I've tried many different things. Please help!!!

You should import all pics taken with the iphone as you would from any digital camera.
You should amke sreu you ahve synced your contacts/calendars to your computer
You should transfer your itunes purchases made from the iphone to your computer.
Make sure that you have put everything on your computer, if you haven't already, before restoring.
The backup does not contain any itunes content. Contacts are only backed up to keep recents and favorites. I would never rely on the backup for your pics. You should importing them to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera

How do I install Mac OS X on SSD?

Hello All,
I will be buying a Samsung 840 Pro Series Solid State Drive to instal into my Macbook (white) mid-2010. How do I instal Mac OS X onto the new SSD? Thanks for your help.

No, because the flash drive is a recovery system. Which is basically the 'Installer' for OS X, and so after you put in the New SSD, you boot to the flash drive (Boot holding down "option" and select the flash drive) and choose "Reinstall OS X" which will download (from Apple servers) and install OS X onto the drive you select. (You may need to use Disk Utility to format the drive to Mac OS Extended {Journaled} first)

Mac OS X v10.7.5 Supplemental Update 1.0

I installed Mac OS X v10.7.5 Supplemental Update 1.0 a few days ago, which said (amongst other things) that it was to improve TimeMachine Backup times... yet, previously it was estimated to complete in 2 days, yet since the install the estimate is now 99 days...
Not sure that it is a great improvement (although this is an initial sync)

The supplemental update did address the 'slow' Time Machine backups under 10.7.5 - if this is your first backup, and depending on how much data you are backing up, I would guess that it could take 6-9 hours, but certainly not 2 (or 99) days. If it seems that the backup is 'hung' just stop it, reformat the external drive, and try again. For some great Time Machine troubleshooting tips, see http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html.
Good luck,
Clinton

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.

It's to do with licensing. If you read the EULA that comes with OSX it tells you about those restrictions.

Installed Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo). Can't Open Mail 4.2

I installed Mac OS X v10.6.4 Update (Combo) and when I rebooted I can no longer open Mail 4.2. I get a message saying the this version is not compatible with the OS. Any thoughts?
Thanks for your help.
Kyle

I didn't use the combo update, but when I went to 10.6.4 it automatically upgraded my Mail to version 4.3.
Why not try doing an upgrade of Mail?

How do I install Mac OS X Lion in my macbook?I already have it in appstore!

First off, dont call me guy. Now when you launch the app store, hold down the option key and click on purchased. You should see a dark grey button next to Lion that says install. Click install on the other mac. Make sure you are signing in with the same apple id that you purchased Lion with. That should do the trick.

How do i install mac os x on a previously owned macbook without their password?

how do i install mac os x on a previously owned macbook without their password?

Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Reset Password. After resetting the password use Startup Disk from the same menu to choose your hard drive for startup and restart.

How do i install Mac OSX Leopard on other drive

how do i install Mac OSX Leopard on a drive other than my Snow Leopard computer? I need to access old files that will not open with new OS.

Simple. When you get the prompt to install Snow Leopard on your existing computer you will see a button that says "change destination disk..." or words to that effect.
You can select any mounted volume. If that volume already has a later version of OS X installed, you will need to erase it first using Disk Utility.
